Nannophyopsis is a genus of small-sized dragonflies in the skimmer family Libellulidae. First described by Maurits Lieftinck in 1935, it consists of two species found throughout the Indomalayan biogeographical realm.
The type species for the genus, Nannophyopsis chalcosoma, holds the title of being the smallest dragonfly species, with a wingspan that is a bit smaller than the more commonly known Nannophya pygmaea of Japan.
